KarmanopolyI can't wait for BYD and it's technology to come to Canada.
observantTrapeziumI can’t wait for public transit to suck less in Canada.
I’m sure most people love dropping their one kid off at soccer and getting their other kid to hockey practice while using the bus
Montréal has… okay level transit by North American standards. My kids can go over to the arena by themselves once they turn ten, taking the three stops by bus. Until then I’ll just bike with them.
North America just sucks, not because of distances. But because of shit transit and urban sprawl.
I remember seeing elementary kids use the subways in Hong Kong by themselves. In Japan there are kids everywhere taking themselves to and from school. Why does mom need a car to tote them around if the city and transportation are built out correctly.
Yeah, America acts like transit is not viable. Back in my mom’s era she was taking the city bus to school at 7 years old.
Just yesterday I was at an organized work event (at an events center), when it was done I walked across the street and got right on the bus, transfered at at a Norths-South East-West corner and dropped off a block from my house.
It’s actually more pleasant than driving because you don’t have to worry about idiot drivers, and I got to hear some locals exchanging recipe ideas, and where to buy the best avacados. 😀
Most people would not mind that, especially if transit got better. What’s your point?
